Basically, in this episode my goal is to give back to my listeners in my community, those of you who look to me and trust me with skills, skin knowledge and acne expertise. I wanted to give you a little Clear Skin reset that combines skin care, nutrition and lifestyle. All of the holistic components we want to consider when it comes to acne clearing. Summer is my personal favorite time of the year. I'm such a summer baby. This is the time of year I think we should all be letting our hair down a little bit, enjoying the moment, taking the spontaneous trip, taking all the pictures and just living it up and enjoying ourselves. It's not the time of year you want to be overthinking your skin and letting that dictate what social activities you attend. It's not the time of year you want to feel like you have to be a slave to a full face of makeup when all you to wear is your bare skin or maybe a really light skin tint. This is the time of year you might want to be jumping in a lake or the ocean or a swimming pool and you don't want to feel like you have to run to the bathroom to conceal your acne like I used to do back in the day. And unfortunately, summer can be a more challenging season for many acne sufferers because this is the time of year where it's hotter, it's more humid, and this can breed sweat, bacteria and inflammation. So I want to give you this challenge to help us all log in together and I want you to pay attention through this episode and not tune out if you hear something that you don't exactly want to be doing. Because oftentimes those are the blind Spots we need to pay attention to. With acne, sometimes just two or three of these things in misalignment can really make all of the difference. So pay attention. Maybe you want to take some notes and let's all lock in and get our best skin ever this summer. It all starts with number one, cleansing. If you know me, I am obsessed with cleansing. It is a non negotiable for clear, healthy skin and cleansing can get so overlooked. It's really going to be foundational to your success with this challenge and beyond. I basically just want to help instill all of these healthy habits. So yes, we're locking in for the two weeks, but I hope that it becomes a habit that you keep with you for life. And maybe you think of me every time you're washing your face and you remember that I'm telling you to wash your face for a full minute every time. When my clients start with me, this is usually something they're not doing for a full minute. And I create everyone a little custom chart with their routine and I Specify cleanse for 60 seconds in the morning and 60 seconds at night, twice if you are double cleansing, which most people should be doing. I think when it comes to somebody who has acne, cleansing can be really triggering if you are not liking what you are feeling when you are touching your skin. So really simple hack for this I found is just wearing some disposable rubber gloves. It kind of cuts down on the sensation and texture you can feel with your hands, so it just feels a lot smoother. So that's a great trick if you just find yourself wanting to stop cleansing and cut it short because you're not liking the texture that you are feeling. The other thing I wanted to mention is if you are somebody who works out, you should be cleansing your skin, especially in the summertime, before and directly after the workout. This is one of those things a lot of people underestimate and it keeps them breaking out. And in this vicious acne cycle, sweat, bacteria and heat sitting on your skin is just the easiest way to break out. If we wanted to create acne in a petri dish, we would need all of those things. So be very diligent, especially post workout. I recommend bringing your skincare to the gym and just cleansing on site because the longer the sweat and the bacteria lingers, Even if it's five to 10 minutes, this can really add up to a lot of inflammation and clogged pores over time, especially if you are an avid workout person. So I think just getting in the habit of packing your skincare and bringing it with you to the gym. When you do that, it kind of just becomes like autopilot. The other thing I wanted to mention is I think people can associate cleansing with damaging their barrier or stripping their skin. And this is one of the reasons I created my skincare line. It's why I'm so passionate about cleansing. Cleansing does not have to be a disruptive event to the barrier. You just need the right high quality cleanser. I believe everyone should have a gentle cleanser that doesn't have actives in it. Some people could use an active cleanser every single day, but you still want a gentle cleanser in your routine. And for this challenge that you can use multiple times a day. And with that, I just wanted to say, you know, leaving that sweat, that heat, that bacteria on your skin, that tends to cause a lot more harm to the skin than a gentle cleanse ever would. So just make sure for this challenge you have a high quality, gentle cleanser. If you need a recommendation, of course, I recommend my double cleanse set for double cleansing or undo for dry skin or low foam for normal to oily skin. Step number two is barrier health. We're going to be talking about actives in this challenge, but your skin is not ready for the actives. If your barrier is not intact. A sign that it's not intact would be feeling like you have a lot of heat or warmth in the skin while you're using active products, or possible stinging or burning, which should not be occurring on a regular basis. It's not a good sign. Your skin care doesn't have to sting to be working. Sometimes you might feel sensation, but we should really try to minimize that and make sure it's not lasting for more than five minutes. And if it is, that's when you probably need to back off. Actives focus on the barrier for a couple of days while the skin restores itself, which it does. It's very intelligent. Basically, with treating acne, the barrier is going to be what we want to reinforce if we have any hope of progressing and pushing your skin with actives and hopefully working up to daily use. So I like to think about barrier support with your skin care in hydrating layers. And for most of my clients, they have maybe three to five hydrator barrier support products, and that could sound like a lot, but when you break it down, it would include a hydrating toner, a hydrating serum moisturizer, and then ideally some sort of hydrating mask. I think this is almost essential for somebody who's trying to treat their skin on a regular basis with Actives because the skin is going to be more dry than normal. So you need a little bit more than a basic routine. You want to be constantly reinforcing that hydration. I love a hydrating mask because my clients can use it when they are showering to protect their skin from heat and because when the skin is wet, it's the most vulnerable to water loss. So just having a little hydrating mask on in the shower, I think goes a long way in terms of protecting that barrier. I will be talking about certain products throughout this episode, so I will make sure those are linked in the show notes. I will also link a hydrating toner, serum and moisturizer that I recommend for most skin types. And I did want to say if your skin gets flaky or irritated through this challenge or this process, don't panic. Dryness is not a reason to stop your Actives. It's just an indication that you may be shedding some skin cells. You may need to back off or you may do really well just focusing on moisture a little bit more. Something you can also do, especially if you're using a lightweight non comedogenic moisturizer, is just reapply it a second time before bed, because overnight, that's when we tend to lose a lot of water. This can lead somebody who's acne prone, especially if they're using Actives, to think that they need a very nourishing, rich cream. And this can clog your skin. So I think it's better to use a moisturizer such as Safe Glaze, which I will link in the show notes. This is my acne Safe moisturizer. It's better to use a normal to midweight non comedogenic moisturizer and reapply it if you need to before bed, or reapply it in certain areas, like around the mouth, where people tend to get dry. Then use something that that is too occlusive and going to clog your pores. So sometimes if my skin gets exceptionally dry, I will reapply a second layer of Safe glaze, almost like a little hydrating mask, and then I will go to sleep with that on. I want to talk to my Estes real quick. Today's episode is in partnership with Pomp Beauty. I am talking about this platform constantly because it has genuinely changed my business. You guys know I am 100% virtual. I don't have a treatment room. I don't have retail shelves. There's no client sitting in my chair physically and for a long time. That meant I was leaving a lot of money on the table when it came to retail. Believe it or not, when I first started my virtual practice, I would send clients links to buy products where I was literally not receiving any benefit or commission. Like I was referring out to big box stores. And soon enough I realized this is a big mistake. But I had nowhere to store the products. I didn't want to open accounts with 50 different professional lines and sending clients to five different websites to buy their routine through your affiliate link. It is a tacky mess and Pomp solve this Right now. Pomp is my single biggest retail revenue stream. My clients are purchasing from me and loving the recommendations and supporting my small business every single day. If you want a stable future, you have to think about income outside of what your two hands can do in the treatment room. And this is where Pump comes in. Pump is a monthly subscription platform built for estheticians that gives you access to 50 plus professional skincare brands. My faves like Face Reality, Marine Skin Solutions, Hydrinity, Color Science, Glymed Revision and Skin so many more. With zero inventory, zero accounts that you need to open and commissions up to 40%, you build each client a personalized routine. They shop from your storefront anytime they want and Pomp handles the shipping and customer service. But here's what I want you to hear. This isn't just for virtual estheticians like me. Whether you have a solo treatment room, a suite, a med spot, it doesn't matter if there are products your clients could benefit from from that you don't currently stock that they would otherwise Google and buy from a random website. Pomp plugs directly into your business and captures that revenue for you. The most popular plan is just 49amonth and that includes educational webinars and sales training. But that literally pays for itself. If one client were to purchase through you on pomp, use code TEST50 to get a 14 day free trial, 50% off your first month and a 75 product credit. The link to join is in the show notes. Just type the treatment room in when it asks how you heard about pomp. And now let's get back to the Show. For every single day of this challenge and hopefully beyond, we are going to get in the habit of applying SPF every single morning. And here's the kicker. That's not it. So SPF only lasts a few hours. This blew my mind when I learned this. But your SPF does not last you all day. So if you apply it in the morning and forget to reapply, your skin is actually unprotected most of the day. And when you are investing in your skincare routine and this process that is like throwing half of your investment out the window. So SPF reapplication is key. It's huge for preventing inflammation and also pigmentation, which I find bothers clients sometimes more than acne. So if you want to have a hope of clearing pie and PIH post inflammatory erythema and hyperpigmentation, sunscreen is going to be your best friend. But one thing I love about sunscreen, when you are treating acne properly and consistently with your actives, you might feel a little flaky throughout the day. So reapplying sunscreen is actually a great way to not only protect your skin, but also re moisturize the skin as well. Step four of the challenge is going to be focusing on nutrition. We're also going to talk about how you can incorporate treats and how you are going to plan for success with your nutrition. We cannot rely on what's available, what's convenient, what's within arm's reach, what's around you. If we rely on what's convenient, you are going to be left with very average choices. And something we want to understand with acne is we are fighting your own biology, we are fighting a gene that you inherited. So although it might feel like I am entitled to clear skin, which I think you are biology and your your specific genes and biology might say otherwise. So if we want to achieve a above average result and fight biology, doesn't it make sense that we might need to make above average choices, especially when it comes to what we put into our body. So for this challenge for the next 14 days, what I would recommend for most people, again, this is going to be more general. And I know with food there can be a lot of what ifs and customizations that are needed. So of course, if you feel you need more one on one guidance, would love for you to join my acne care program where I can personally walk you through your personal nutrition plan. But in general, what I would recommend is really making sure you are having one three meals a day. A lot of my clients, I find are not eating enough and this is really exacerbating their stress levels, maybe without them even realizing it. The body can adapt to less food over time. So somebody might be eating one, one or two meals a day and just not really feeling that hungry. And sometimes people can kind of take pride in that or just get really comfortable with it and think that they don't need to eat more than that. But low hunger signals are actually not a great thing. We want your metabolism firing. We want to be showing your body that it is safe and that it is okay for it to crave more food and for it to be hungry for three meals a day. If you are shorter, that's like, you know, a scenario in which you might need less food. I'm 5 7, so I'm taller. I'm very active. I get 10 to 12,000 steps a day just walking my dog. I lift weights five days a week. So I absolutely need my three meals a day. And then I also have two snacks on top of that every single day. I would say most people should have three meals, and then for snacks, you could choose one or two, depending on your body, your hunger cues, and how much energy you feel you need. We want to focus on regular meals to keep blood sugar stable, which is really, I think, one of the most overlooked areas of acne care. When it comes to putting your meals together, you want to build them around protein, healthy fats, fiber, and carbs as needed for energy. When it comes to carbohydrates, you want to focus on lower or medium glycemic carbohydrates, like sweet potatoes, beans, legumes, brown rice, quinoa, chickpeas or chickpea pasta, fruits and veggies. If you are a more active person, if you are lifting heavier weights and you're getting a good amount of steps, I'd say anywhere from 8 to 10,000 or more steps per day, you might need more carbohydrate. Carbs are not technically an essential macronutrient, but I think most women especially do well with some carbohydrates in the diet. But how much you need, I think, can really depend on you as a person. And you do want to be strategic with your carbohydrates when you are acne prone, because a high glycemic load is associated with more acne and more severe acne. So this is where I think a lot of people struggle, because it can be hard to be consistent instead of trying to be perfect. What I would really recommend is trying to plan as much as possible and make planning part of your daily to do list. This was completely foreign to me when I started working with nutrition coaches. It actually took me going through three different nutrition coaches until I clicked with the person and I clicked with the process of tracking my food. And I was ready for that, and I was ready to plan my meals. In advance. I think planning it can be natural to some people and not as natural to others. It was not natural to me. I really resisted planning and just, I thought what made me happy was just deciding on what I wanted to eat in the moment. And now that I've become a planner and what I personally do is I will plan my meals for the next day, the night before. So at the end of the night when I'm like settled down, I've done everything I need to do. Usually I sit, I have a dandelion tea. Personally, I use the app macro factor. You could use an app like that to plan out your meals in your phone. You could also just use the notes app and write things down. But I have come to really love the consistency and just knowing generally what I'm going to have. It actually takes a lot of stress and confusion out of my day and makes it more efficient. And you know, I can still switch it up and swap certain meals or ingredients if in the moment I'm really not in the mood for something. But generally I will plan out my meals and that just really helps me to stay on track. I then go to the store with a list of what I know I need for the next day. You can also, if you have a super busy week and maybe you go to the grocery store once a week, you can sit down the night before you go to the grocery store, maybe it's a Sunday, and plan out all of your meals. Personally, I can run to the grocery store almost anytime. It's basically around the corner from me. And sometimes it's a nice little break in my work day to get up and, and go to the store and to even get some steps in when I am walking around the grocery store. But I know not everyone gets to work from home. So whatever works for you, just make sure you find a dedicated time and try, try to plan out your meals in advance as much as possible. Even if you are not perfect with it, even if you can't stick to it all the time, whatever percent you can do is going to pay off for you. So even if it's you only stick to 50% of what you plan, that could really add up to a lot of progress for you when it comes to your meals. Really the basis for the meals should be protein. And I think once you understand that, you really get a sense of how you can build a meal that works for your goals. A general target is aiming for your body weight in grams of protein, but of course this can vary in certain situations. But for most People, that works well. So you can choose beef, chicken, salmon, tuna, turkey or turkey sausage, chomps, turkey sticks. You could do deli, turkey or turkey bacon. You could do smoked salmon, you could do raw tuna or canned tuna. Think about the protein that you like to eat. Think about the meals that you genuinely would like to eat. I think that actually can work better if you actually just think about, okay, what are my favorite meals? Even if it's a hamburger or pasta, because you can make a healthier, protein focused version of that. You could make a chickpea pasta and add ground beef, ground bison, chicken, sausage, chicken. You could add zucchini, you could add some sauteed carrots, onions. You can really make any meal work for your goals. But I think if you genuinely like what you were eating, that is how this is going to become a lifestyle rather than just a two week little thing that you do. So include foods that you enjoy, make meals that you love. Again, this is not a crash diet. Although I would recommend focusing on whole foods, natural foods, real foods, but genuinely finding meals that you love. I am launching my ebook very soon, which is really very in line with everything I'm talking about. My goal with the ebook was to make comfort foods fit for acne prone people and just make eating something that feels enjoyable, almost like a vacation in your day or going to a cool trendy cafe, but having something really amazing you can whip up at home in under 30 minutes. So I'm so excited for the ebook. I've poured my heart and soul into those recipes. So be on the lookout for that. I will definitely announce on Instagram, probably the podcast too. Last but not least, when it comes to nutrition, I always tell my clients to plan for treats when you first start a challenge or a new lifestyle, maybe it's the beginning of the new year. That's when your motivation is going to be at its peak. And then motivation can kind of drop with time. And that's why a lot of people say discipline is really what will carry you through. I would say structure and planning will also carry you through because that motivation may fall. But if you have planned out your meals, if you have planned to treat yourself to an amazing low sugar, dairy free dessert of which you can find so many recipes, especially on Pinterest, Instagram, tick tock like the options are endless. Making sure you incorporate some treats I think is a really healthy strategy for long term success. So some things I personally like, I have a healthier palette, but you could put your own twist on it. Personally, I love my coconut Yogurt bowls. I add honey crisp crisp apple. I add sumo oranges. I add sun butter. I will add a little drizzle of agave and sea salt. To me that is like a decadent dessert and it feels good to my body. So those are the kind of treats I like. I also love a protein shake. I use sprout living protein powder in the vanilla pea pepper protein flavor. It's a very neutral taste and I think protein shakes are great because you can make any protein shake taste like a dessert. I love doing a fudge fudge sickle smoothie which is going to be in my ebook. Or maybe like a mint chocolate chip with cacao frozen banana, some mint leaves, blueberry or strawberry smoothies are always a go to for me. I also love looking on Pinterest for smoothie ideas or trendy cafes like getting inspiration from Erewhon and making my own strawberry glaze smoothie at home. Things like that just keep healthy living feeling fun. Another go to for me is frozen banana with almond butter or cashew butter or sunbutter. But you can absolutely find what you like, what excites your taste buds and just play around. There's so many options these days so you don't need to deprive yourself of indulgences to get clear. You just need structure. You just need to recognize that, okay, treats in this era of my life might have to look a little bit different. I can't be eating as much peanut butter, refined sugar, dairy based chocolates. But you still absolutely can and should have treats. You may just need to find little smart ways to strategize. Okay, step number five. We are getting to the meat of this episode, Actives. So at this point your skin should be clean, it should be protected, it should be supported. It is ready. We are going to keep this very simple. I want you to pick one Active. I personally recommend benzoyl peroxide or a gentle retinol. But maybe you have an Active that has been working for you. I want you to focus on one in this program, especially if you are not using that active on a nightly consistent basis. If you are using five different actives and just thinking, okay, I'm going to hit acne from all angles by using all of these different products, I will tell you your skin will actually prefer consistency. So personally when I create routines, I do get more advanced and I am able to use various Actives. If that's working for you, don't change it. But this is for the person who hasn't really established a consistent routine. Or consistent habits yet. And who needs to hear that they need to be using their active at a dose effective level. Meaning if you're using it three times a week, which it shocks me when I talk to people, they have a decent active, but they're only using it half the week. And generally they stop or don't use it as much because they notice dryness and they're like, oh, you know, I noticed some flaking. I thought it was bad. It's a sign of normal acclimation. So as long as you know your skin is not stinging, burning, you're noticing a lot of sensation, it is normal to experience a little bit of flaking through the acclimation process. And just like a muscle that is getting sore from the gym, the skin will adapt to the stimulus with time and it will get stronger. And so then we are signaling collagen and we get a thick dermis and a very compact, thin, clean, refined epidermis. That is how you create a glass skin effect. And that comes from using your actives consistently to clean out the pores and signal collagen in the deeper layers of the skin. You want to make sure you start with just a couple nights a week. I'd say two or three nights a week, if you've been using it three nights a week. And then you want to build up slowly. And here is where most people go wrong. They either use too much product or they use too much too fast, or they keep switching products and they never give anything the sufficient time it needs to work. And honestly, actives is one of the areas that people really get stuck because they may not know exactly what their skin needs. They don't know how often to use it. And then there's some level of user error, like they do not have enough barrier support in the routine. They're frying their face with the sun or hot water, or they're using way too little or way too much of their active, which eventually creates the barrier damage that makes them think they need to stop it altogether. When it comes to actives, this can be a sensitive area. So I love to just work really closely with my clients in my acne care program and guide them through. But for the purpose of this challenge, I would say stick to what you know to be tolerable for your skin so that you can slowly work up to more consistent use. And one little tip I will also throw in is that applying your active carefully can be the difference maker. If you are putting too much in your hand and just rubbing it in, this could Be a reason your skin gets irritated. I would recommend instead going section by section and applying a thin layer almost like you're painting a wall to each section of the face and then moving on to the next area which once you've used up all the product in your hand. Step six is your hygiene and daily habits. So these are again not the root cause of acne, but I have found in my years of experience they are very important for an acne prone person because it's almost just like adding excess fuel to the flame and we don't want to give acne that chance. So what I'm recommending through this program is that you change your pillowcase every single night before bed. You use a fragrance free detergent and no dryer sheets. You avoid touching your face throughout the day. Really the only time you should be touching your skin is during your skincare routine. And that you ice your breakouts and apply your active to treat the area instead of picking. These steps might sound super basic and simple, but they reduce bacteria, inflammation and irritation over time. And lastly step seven, your environment and lifestyle. This is what really amplifies everything else you are doing. I know you've heard before that you should drink more water. It's not going to solve acne altogether, but it is important because your skin cells need hydration to function properly. And hydrated skin cells is just going to help the whole system work better overall. Next is sleep. I want you to aim for seven to nine hours. Sleep is when your body repairs hormones, balance and this is when inflammation falls. So if your sleep is off, your skin is usually as well. You might notice more redness or more rosacea flares, or your skin just feels more dehydrated and sensitized. Or you're waking up with new breakouts. So sleep is so, so important and often overlooked. Next is going for daily walks, especially after meals. Ideally two to three times a day if you can and if that's doable for you. If you're doing no walks a day, don't go right into three walks a day. Try for one or two. I think always just easing into habits is great to build confidence. I'm the type of person I can get discouraged if the goal is too high. But if the goal is doable, I will do that and then I'll be hungry and excited and confident for more. So start slow and build up to more steps. This helps to regulate blood sugar, which plays a major role, as I mentioned before, in breakouts, even oil production and inflammation. And lastly, stress management when Your body is constantly stressed. It stays in a heightened inflammatory state, which can really show up in your skin. And I think a lot of us tend to think of stress as just psychological. Stress can also come from under eating, not eating enough calories, over training, working out too much, not getting enough rest or sleep, or just constantly being go, go, go. I used to do all of these things, you guys. And so I think with health and wellness, we want to understand that, of course, like, exercise is good, there can be a time and place for a calorie deficit. You know, working hard is good and sometimes you need to, but the body keeps the score and anything in excess can tip that balance. So sometimes the most disciplined thing you can actually do is getting more rest. This has been the hardest area of wellness for me. Like, I love being in the gym now. I love planning my meals. I don't have issues sticking to those things, but the rest is always something like, I just feel a little bit more resistance with. But I will say, even with time, I've come to love my rest days and really value them, knowing that my muscle and my results are really not coming from the time I'm in the gym breaking the muscle down. It's coming from when I am sleeping, when I'm resting, when I'm fueling my body outside of training. So I just wanted to say that because it's not always just having too many projects at work or psychological stress. Now that said, I think that is a huge aspect of it. I would say if there's anything in your life, any relationship, any obligation that's really not serving you, that you know, you've just allowed to go on and it's slowly like killing you. I've been in a lot of different situations like this, work wise, relationship wise, and it can be hard in the moment to get out of these things, but you are the only person sometimes who can get yourself out of those situations. So just notice, like, have I lost my appetite? Am I unable to fall asleep? Am I just like spending my days filled with anxiety and dread and a pit in my stomach? If so, I would really evaluate, like, what is something toxic in your life that you can cut out? Because I think you will find there's so much peace for you waiting on the other side. And once your nervous system gets back to normal, you will be like, I don't know how I ever let myself experience so much anxiety and why I didn't take myself out of the situation. So I just think stress management is key if we want healing in any area of the body. So all those things I think are important. And then I also wanted to suggest through the challenge that you pick a stress management tool. Maybe it's a hobby or a little activity that you can stick with on a daily basis. Some ideas would be walking while listening to something calming or inspiring. I love listening to sermons on walks and trying to just get off my phone and listen to the message. You could also journal or read. You could do some breath work or short meditation. I find breath work is so calming and something I really don't look forward to doing personally. But if I'm ever having trouble falling asleep, doing some breath work exercises has me knocked out so fast. Yoga or stretching I think is great and a good way to just get your body moving gently. You could Even just take 10 minutes of stillness to get in bed and close your eyes, turn the lights off and just like have that time where you don't need to be pressured to fall asleep right away, but you can actually just like relax for a minute and take in your day. So it doesn't need to be complicated. Whatever wellness or mental health habit sounds the most appealing to you. Your habit, your wellness routine, it doesn't need to be complicated. I just want it to be something that you can be consistent with daily, especially for the two weeks of the challenge lunch. Okay guys, so I really hope you try this out and you can commit to it for the full 14 days. It is cool to really commit to something and show up for yourself and keep your promises to yourself. Pay attention to any areas where you feel stuck, whether it's your routine and your products or your nutrition or maybe even just wanting some accountability and wanting a professional involved in in this process with you. If you want everything personalized to you and structured step by step, that's exactly what I walk you through in my acne care program. So I'll have that linked in the show notes for anyone who feels ready to dive in with my professional guidance and get excited because Eat to clear My recipe ebook for acne clearing is coming so soon and I think this will just really simplify the nutrition side even more. For those of you who just want actual recipes that you can copy if you do the challenge, please tag me on Instagram ysdtessa that will be linked in the show notes as well. I want to see your progress. I want to see who gets involved and actually tries this out. I would love to repost you your updates. You can use the hashtag reset to clear so I can follow your journey. Start here but don't stay stuck trying to figure it out on your own. I'm here for you if you need me. I love you so much and wish you the best with the challenge.
